Hello all, its been a moment since I've posted here, but good to be back. I recently acquired this Mauser c96 'Broomhandle' at auction. It was advertised as a "Red 9" however I knew I was taking a risk that it may not be authentic. Im hoping you all may explain to me what a few things mean, as...

Recently ordered a March 1-10x24 shorty. I plan to use it on my 30-06 Winchester model 70 Extreme Weather, rather than a tactical application. It seem like a good all around optic. I’ve read great reviews of this scope online. It seems to be the only 1-10 or 1-8 LVPO without any comprise (minus...

Been a long time since posting! Started a new business which totaled up most of my time, but glad to be back! Recently acquired a rather worn Whitney 2nd model revolver. The cylinder gap is unacceptable, any opinions on tightening it up? Any other general knowledge/tips in regards to the Whitney?

A friend of mine knows I work with guns often. He brought a rifle to me to modify and make ‘tactical’. The rifle in question is a Pre-Ban colt AR-15 A2 Govt’ Model. I told him no way, I am not modifying this piece of history. I am going to offer to to buy it from him, and simply do a build...

Not long ago I acquired this Mauser. I have done an extensive amount of research but even so I cannot find everything on the internet. I know dual codes are not very common. Any additional information would be helpful. This was started in the Gustloff factory BCD, and finished in the Steyr...

To kick in the New Year, I tightened the mainspring on this Reid knuckle Duster. I picked it up a few weeks ago at auction. Now she is in firing condition! I loaded some rounds with the .22 short bullets pulled and only the primers left in (otherwise I would not be firing it into the dark)...

Picked up a new lovely lady the other day. I would really like to take her to the sporting clays course. This 1887 was made in 1890, chambered in 12ga. The gun was made with black powder loads in mind, but does have a fluid steel barrel. Currently I shoot 2.5” RST ultra-lite in my old sxs box...

Between work, ammo shortages, and ranges closing, it has been a while since I’ve logged on here gentlemen! On the positive side. My Winchester 70 30-06 extreme weather, the rifle which I consider an extension of my right hand, got a shiny new pair of sights! Since I use it often I figured I’d...

(Let’s not start a caliber war, and keep this strictly to the 9mm) Picked up my new glock 43x the other day. Feels great, shoots better. This is going to be my new all around carry pistol. I’m thinking I will also use this for woods carry. I hike regularly, fly fish, ski in the backcountry...

i finished a stock with Johnson’s paste wax as the last step. It’s alright but I might like a bit more sheen. Carnauba wax should do the trick, any issues with using carnauba wax over paste wax? Should I strip the current wax finish? I would prefer not to

From Midsouth Shooters Supply on the 250gr Hornady A-Tip: “These Doppler Radar verified low-drag coefficient (high B.C.) bullets are forgiving of twist rates, seating depths, and muzzle velocity enhanced with a perfect blend of ogive, tip length, bearing surface, and optimized boattail by...

As the title states: Finally finished at last!! (sort of). This has been one of those ongoing projects. I took my time with it. Of course it could have been completed sooner than two years, but hey at least it’s done now! The two exceptions that still need finishing are the rings I will be...

As a collector of match rifles, I added another to the stable! The k-31 with Waffenfabrik diopters. This one in particular was shot in Schützenfest 1995 based on the sticker on the stock. It also has red banded tape wrapped around the forestock indicating it was match used. (FYI if you have a...

Debating switching my main ’get work done’ AR upper from an 18” rifle length 5.56, to an 18” rifle length 6.5 Grendel. I’d like to see first how common it would be to come across ammo without ordering online.

Does anyone load for this? I’ve read you can duplicate 30-40 krag loads. I’ve also read you can simply trim 7.5x55 brass to 53.5. I’d like to hear your methods and load data if you’re willing.

Hi guys, I have a 704 style rifle, it has a relatively unique extractor design for a bolt action that is modeled after the m1 garand. The issue is only one person makes those rifles today and that is Legendary Arms Works (they bought the rights) however as I don’t have LAW manufactured rifle...

Working on a build that is based on the Ed brown 704 action. The action is on the exterior a Remington 700 footprint. I ordered a long action picatinny scope base for the rifle, and to my oversight, it did not fit. The action is threaded to accept 8-40 screws. There are four holes tapped...

Some valuable information on angle to target. Something I often find myself forgetting to compensate for. This is from the book ‘The Ultimate Sniper’ published in 1993 (a very good read). Beyond the ‘sniping’ technique aspect which you may or may not have interest in (personally I just use it...

I can’t find any information on the new generation of tango 4 other than the fact that it is a new generation. The old generation (grey) has a different turret than the new generation. Beyond this obvious visual difference and the color differences, I can’t find much info on if glass quality...

A family member of mine is retiring after 28 years in the fire department, and is leaving as a captain. I was approached by my cousins to do a build for his retirement gift. I figured I’ve got nothing better to do during quarantine, so here it is. The fighting Irish fireman was the station 4...
